PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function ()

[Michael Alaimo]

We have a server that gets a large number of requests each month.

After a period of time I began to see this error in our error logs this
weekend.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function ()

It does not reference a function, so I found it odd. It did give a line to
a function with array_merge on it.

Has anyone seen this in the apache error logs? We are using PHP 5.3.3.

Show us the line, and a few lines around it.

public static function getInfo($params = array())
{
$results = array();

$url = 'http://google.com';


$props = array
(
'key' => Yii::app()->params['param1'],
's' => Yii::app()->params['param2']
);

if (!empty($params))
{
$props = array_merge($props, $params);

$url = $url . http_build_query($props, '', '/');


It may be possible that params has unsafe data in it. The previous dev did
not validate the data passed in via get.

The code populating params looks like:

$params = array
(
'd' => $_GET['d'],
);

$job = Job::getInfo($params);

My best guess is that either $props or $params contain a function reference or similar construct. Examine their contents with var_dump.

As a check you could expand out the effect of array_merge and see if you still get the same with a PHP implementation.
